Hi can anyone help me please i have a w203 2001. 2.6l the car been stood for 18 months cos i been banned from driving.... After i try to start up my car but nothing happened i both a new battery but instrument cluster is not working at all and it's seems like its don't recognise the keys no more can anyone help me where to look for a prob

 

try changing the key battery? That would be the fist fast cheap thing to do.

 

Ye i try it also but nothing happened even the central door locking is not working only the interior lights is working nothing else like have no power

 

Just to clarify did you buy BOTH a car battery and a battery for your key fob?

 

Ye i both a new car battery and new key batterys too but a cluster no works at all and its no sucking the keys like there is no any power at all... Only interior lights is working

 

This is why you MUST either disconnect the battery or trickle charge the w203 when you park it long term. If you let the battery die in the car and voltage drops slowly it will corrupt the memory in some of it's computer modules and your car will become an expensive paperweight. There is really no way of knowing where the damage is without connecting it to an MB specific diagnostic tool.

 

Ye thats what i afraid of mb centre will take my skin off
